Iron Island Museum, Central Terminal set for supernatural fun

Derek J. Punaro — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 16:00:48 +0000

From today’s Buffalo News…

BY EMERI KRAWCZYK

As we close in on “All Hallows Eve” and the boundary between the living and the deceased dissolves, spine-tingling stories abound — and sometimes the place where they’re told is even scarier than the stories themselves.

Ripe with ghostly encounters and strange occurrences that should lend plenty of atmosphere, two unique Buffalo locations — the Iron Island Museum in Lovejoy and the Central Terminal, will host two chilling events: “Spirits & More Spirits,” a wine tasting on Saturday in the museum and a joint event on Oct. 30 that will bring professional ghost hunters into the mix. Let’s visit — if you dare.
